I can vouch for this one. Great cocktail, great barman.
Has anyone noticed that after 13 years of Conservative government nothing seems to work any more and we are all much poorer while they are considerably richer?
A reminder that this govt are privatising our healthcare without any mandate to do so. - not in their manfesto - not debated in parliament - not challenged by media This is an unelected PM profoundly changing our healthcare… This is not democracy!
Oh dear, another tough Friday. Hope you get through.
Good to see growing protest over forced academisation of KES in Sheffield. #handsoffkes

A soft blanket of heather now covers Hathersage Moor. This is the view from the Iron Age hill fort of Carl Wark looking to Over Owler Tor. I'm sure it looked very different thousands of years ago, but I hope our ancestors paused occasionally to admire the view as well.
